What a novel! Like his first book, Wisdom Hunter, I could not put this one down. Finally, at age 53 I saw the light and my family left our legalistic affiliation. We are so sympathetic toward those who remain. I have almost no doubt that my old denomination would be much like the one in this book. So sad; what a sad lack of edification and spiritual growth in God's people; they are taught to conform to each other rather than just Christ. I had difficulty evangelizing; and even inviting people to church because of loud, self-centered, skim milk messages. Mr. Arthur's third novel is wonderful also. I highly recommend all three. I also think that those of us who are free from legalism should learn to reach those who are still trapped. While in bondage, I remember numerous well meaning but unprepared brothers/sisters attacking my affiliation which made me dig in deeper. I would not knock their church or KJO stand but rather, talk about the real joy, real love(we said we had it but it wasn't there except in small cliques), real personal growth sermons, evangelistic successes of your church. Blessings to you all.
